ok, its way past due, but the fan fest kicked ass. completely fun, and i was pleasantly surprised by the dancer class. the new zones were "old" newbie zones with much much larger monsters, and the new new zones are as well laid out as the rest of the games zones. the developers conference was informative and interesting, and made me happy to see how much they enjoy the game. fun carnival games, the live quest was a blast, and taru taru marathon was fun.
